Current Research Activities
I am an Assistant Professor of Asian American Studies in the Department of Sociology and Interdisciplinary 社会科学s at San Jose State University. 作为董事 of the Ethnic Studies Collaborative, I have worked closely with campus community partners and other Ethnic Studies faculty in the College of 社会科学s to create a minor 比较U.S. Race and Ethnic Relations. Having served as Co-Chair of the Asian Pacific Islander Desi/American Task Force, I have advocated for curricular and co-curricular support for APID/A students. My research has been published in the 杂志 of Asian American Studies, New Directions for Higher 教育, and the Bilingual Research 杂志. My current book manuscript addresses transgenerational transmission of trauma among Cambodian Americans in California. I was also the convener and lead organizer of the 2020 Southeast Asian American Studies Conference.
Research 连接s to Current 事件
My research specialties include an important mix of micro and macro subjects (colonialism and affect), social theory, law and society, mixed methods, trauma and memory, mental health, and race (critical race and critical refugee studies). My research trajectory moves in two complementary directions. First, I study the transmission of trauma across generations with a particular focus on Southeast Asian refugee populations. 我的地面 such trauma studies in core sociological areas: power, inequality, immigration, family, gender, race, and stratification. Second, as related to the first, I examine the impact of broad historical macro-experiences of colonialism, post-colonialism, immigration, and refugee status on cultural identity, education and achievement, and affect. Of all of these issues continue to be connected to increasing social inequalities -- especially as related to the impacts of COVID-19, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism.
